Starting off a tabletop boulder, clip a bolt and do a short 2-move V3 boulder problem to significantly easier terrain and 2 more bolts above. Not a bomb, but not terribly memorable either. 0.5 stars.

Searching for Nuts

A nice face climb up steep patina plates and incut edges. I don't remember any particular crux, just seemed that every move was 5.9/10- up until the easier top.

Start by clipping a bolt while standing on a boulder, then crank though the short crux onto easier terrain above. A small nut or tiny cam can be placed (craftily) in the patina plates after the crux start, but isn't really necesary.

This fantastic line is actually located on a long buttress of rock about 50 yards to the east of Squirrel Rock/Upper Walt's Rock. The route more-or-less follows the blunt southern arête of the formation.

This long and varied pitch starts with a finger crack followed by a short face crux past a bolt. A right-facing corner is then gained, eventually stepping out right onto airy and exposed face past 3 more bolts on the final headwall. There is some loose stuff on the upper half, probably due to lack of traffic. Adequately protected and a worthy tick. Easily 3/4 stars.
